One found that EW-83H (for 24-105L) with spring arrangement is good for 17-40 L on 1.6x crop DSL, apart from EW-83D.

Ireceived some feedback that the EW-83D (and EW-83DII) were very stiff on the 17-40mm lens. I have to agree with this: mine was very stiff at first although it soon loosened up. Now two and half years later it's maybe slightly too loose (only in that it doesn't click into place when fully attached - very similar to the standard EW-78BII on my 28-135mm IS lens).
Recently I was using an EF 24-105mm/4L IS lens and noticed that its hood (the EW-83H) is a very similar shape to the EW-83D. Not quite as long, but very similar. Not only does it have internal flocking, but it has the same spring arrangement as the EW-83E. It attaches to the 17-40mm lens with a very positive click: almost as though it was made for it! I've taken test shots and can recommend it.
